Blown-In Insulation in The Hamptons, Boca Raton

Cardinal Insulation, 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Blown-in insulation is the first service. The Hamptons is in West Boca, ZIP 33496, off Yamato Road west of Jog. There is no pin inside the gate. A search from this side of town is still miles from the shop.

The attic

Houses here were built from 1987 on. Most are one story under barrel tile, with a vented attic over the living space. The original batts have usually settled. A few inches of old fiberglass is often about R-9. Florida's ceiling minimum in this climate is R-30. The install standard is R-38, checked at the depth, not guessed from the hatch.

The ceiling is the job. The roof deck stays outside the house unless a bonus room was built into the slope. That room is spray foam, and it is a separate price from the open attic. Blowing a vented attic and foaming a roof deck on the same house are two jobs even when they share one roof.

Before the hose

The leaks come first. Top plates, can lights, bath fans, the chase, and the hatch. Then baffles at the soffits so the blow does not close the intake. Dry fill stays and is topped. Wet fill, or fill full of nests, comes out before anything new goes down. Removal is not included in a top-up.

Gate access is the homeowner's to arrange. The crew does not have a code. A condo or a flat-roof villa with no attic is not this page.

Not the other Woodfield

Woodfield Hunt Club is the community on Jog Road between Yamato and Clint Moore, ZIP 33434. It is not inside the country club. The attic notes are The Hamptons attic. The West Boca page is blown-in insulation in West Boca Raton. The install itself is on blown-in insulation.

The attic numbers, not a brochure

The 2023 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, Table R402.1.2 sets a climate zone 1 ceiling at R-30 and a climate zone 2 ceiling at R-38. Cardinal installs R-38 and checks the inches. A Florida page that lists R-49 to R-60, or R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch for both fiberglass and cellulose, is using a different book. Table R402.4.1.1 says air-permeable insulation shall not be used as the air seal.

Quotes are prepared by Russell Y, a building scientist, BPI certified, and certified to perform blower door testing. When the door is run, the result is air changes per hour at 50 pascals, the method in R402.4.1.2. That section limits new houses in climate zones 1 and 2 to 7 ACH50. An insulation job on an existing house is not automatically that test. We report the number only when we measured it.

Insulation numbers Cardinal uses against the Florida code
Item	Number	What it means
Zone 1 ceiling, Florida code	R-30 minimum	Palm Beach and Broward
Zone 2 ceiling, Florida code	R-38 minimum	Not R-49 and not R-60
What Cardinal installs	R-38, depth checked	Above the zone 1 floor
New blown fiberglass	About R-2.5 per inch	Not R-3.2 to R-3.8
Settled fiberglass	About R-2.2 per inch	4 inches is about R-9
New cellulose	About R-3.6 per inch	Denser. Still not an air seal
Open-cell foam	About R-3.6 per inch	A roof-deck product
Closed-cell foam	About R-6.5 per inch	2 inches is about R-13

Loose fill does not stop air. The holes are sealed first. Two inches of closed-cell foam is an air-seal coat, not a finished attic. We do not quote a dollar amount off the power bill. Ducts in a vented attic stay in the heat. The shop for the Boca listing is 4263 NW 1st Ave.

More on this page

The Hamptons is one gated section inside Woodfield Country Club, West Boca, ZIP 33496. The entrance is off Yamato Road, west of Jog, at Woodfield Country Club Parkway. Streets in the section include Saint Annes and Harrington. Building started in 1987.

The houses are mostly one story under barrel tile, with wide vented attics. Original batts have usually slumped. There is no shop inside the gate, and the crew does not have a code. The pin is 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton.

The job, when the fill is dry, is the air seal and a top-up to R-38. A condo stack is not this section. Woodfield Hunt Club, on Jog Road in 33434, is the other Woodfield and it is not inside the club.

The code in The Hamptons, West Boca

The Hamptons, West Boca is in Palm Beach County. Table R301.1 of the 2023 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, lists Palm Beach County as climate zone 1A. Table R402.1.2 sets the zone 1 ceiling minimum at R-30. The Hamptons, West Boca does not publish its own attic R-value. The city enforces the Florida Building Code.

Palm Beach County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That zone is only Miami-Dade and Broward. Parts of the Palm Beach coast are still a wind-borne debris region, which is an opening-protection rule from the wind map, not an insulation number. Section R806.2 of the 2023 Florida Building Code, Residential, sets the net free vent area at 1/150 of the attic. The exception is 1/300 only when 40 to 50 percent of that area is within 3 feet of the ridge and the rest is in the bottom third. Insulation cannot close the soffit. R806.3 requires at least 1 inch at the eave vent.

The county zone is Table R301.1. The Boca Raton worked example, including the vent math, is the building code page. Cardinal still installs a vented attic to R-38 and checks the depth.
